DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Frontal Impact Air-
bag System, which utilizes the driver/passenger air-
bags and seatbelt pretensioners. This system is
designed to protect occupants in the event of a front
impact collision. These airbags and seatbelt preten-
sioners are all serviceable parts. If these pyrotechnics
are deployed or defective, they must be replaced, as
well as the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
must be diagnosed following procedures outlined in
the service/diagnostic manuals.
Vehicles equipped with the Side Impact Airbag
System, the seat back assembly must be replaced, as
well as the Side Impact Airbag Control Module
(SIACM) must be diagnosed following procedures
outlined in the service/diagnostic manuals.
OPERATION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) controls
the driver/passenger airbags and seat belt tensioners.
If the ORC determines that the impact is severe
enough, the driver/passenger/side airbags and seat
belt tensioners will deploy. Once a deployment
occurs, these devices, and all damaged parts must be
replaced, as well as the ORC must be diagnosed fol-
lowing procedures outlined in the service/diagnostic
manuals.
The Side Impact Airbag Control Module (SIACM),
the seat back assemblies and all damaged parts must
be replaced, as well as the SIACM must be diagnosed
following procedures outlined in the service/diagnos-
tic manuals.

DESCRIPTION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is
designed to protect against whole vehicle theft. The
system monitors vehicle doors, and ignition action for
unauthorized operation (hood and liftgate for RG -
Export). The alarm activates:
²Sounding of the horn
²Flashing of the headlamps/park/tail lamps
²Flashing of the headlamps
²An engine kill feature (with SKIS)
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is
available as a factory-installed option on this vehicle.
It is designed to provide passive protection against
unauthorized vehicle use by disabling the engine,
after two (2) seconds of running, whenever an invalid
key is used to start the vehicle. The SKIS is active
whenever the ignition is on and does not require any
customer intervention. The primary components of
the system are the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM), Sentry Key (ignition key with a transponder
molded into the head), indicator light, Body Control
Module (BCM), and the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The SKIM is mounted to the steering column
with the molded, integral antenna mounted on the
ignition housing. The indicator light, is located in the
Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC).
OPERATION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
Upon failure of proper SKIM communication to the
PCM, the PCM will shut off fuel after two seconds of
run time. The engine will not re-crank on the key
cycle that the failure occurred, a full key down
sequence must be performed for the engine to crank
again. After six consecutive fuel shut-offs, the engine
will no longer crank on subsequent key cycles. The
failure must be corrected and a valid communication
process between the SKIM and the PCM must occur
for the engine to crank and start again.
The electronics for the VTSS are part of the Body
Control Module (BCM). The system is armed when
the vehicle is locked using the:
²Power door lock switches (with any door ajar)
²Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
²Door Cylinder Lock Switches.
For vehicles equipped with SKIS, the doors do not
have to be locked to enable the fuel shut off feature.
After the vehicle is locked and the last door is
closed, the set LED indicator in the Mechanical
Instrument Cluster (MIC) will flash quickly for 16
seconds, indicating that arming is in progress. If no
monitored systems are activated during this period,
the system will arm. The LED will extinguish unless
the liftgate is open. If the liftgate is open, the LED
will flash at a slower rate.
This indicates that the system is armed. If fault is
detected on the driver key cylinder input, the indica-
tor LED will remain solid during the arming process,
although the system will still arm. If the indicator
LED does not illuminate at all upon door closing it
indicates that the system is not arming.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry by unlocking either door with the ignition key/
RSVEHICLE THEFT SECURITY8Q-1

remote transmitter. This disarming will also halt the
alarm once it has been activated.
A tamper alert exists to notify the driver that the
VTSS had been activated. This alert consists of 3
horn pulses when the vehicle is disarmed.
NOTE: The VTSS will not arm by pushing down the
door lock mechanism. This will manually override
the system.
For Door Cylinder Lock Switch Removal and
Installation, refer to Electrical, Power Locks, Door
Cylinder Lock Switch.
If the VTSS is triggered, the horn will pulse, head-
lamps/marker lamps will flash, and the VTSS warn-
ing lamp will flash. If BCM determines the threat to
be false and the VTSS is not triggered again, the sys-
tem will shut down and rearm itself after three min-
utes. If a trigger is still active, the alarm will
continue for an additional 15 minutes without the
horn. The VTSS monitors the passenger compart-
ment (for RG - Export it also monitors the engine
compartment. If a malfunction occurs in the engine
compartment, the passenger compartment would still
arm and function normally).
NOTE: System will not arm if passenger compart-
ment is not secure.
NOTE: (RG - Export - If hood is not secure during
the arming sequence, the lamp will stay lit and not
flash. The system will arm with hood not secured
and the liftgate open).
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD A
(1) With the key removed from the ignition lock
and any door open (excluding liftgate), actuate one of
the following:
²Power door lock button to LOCK,
²Key fob LOCK button
²Driver door lock key cylinder to locked position.
(2) Close all opened doors. Liftgate can remain
open.
(3) After the last door is closed, an arming time-
out period of sixteen seconds will start, then the
VTSS will become armed.
ARMING THE VTSS - METHOD B
Actuating the key fob transmitter LOCK button,
key locking the front doors with the doors closed and
the ignition locked will begin the arming time-out
period. If method A, 16 second time-out sequence was
in process when method B was actuated, the 16 sec-
ond time-out will restart from the time of the second
actuation.If the security lamp does not illuminate at all upon
final door closure, it indicates that the system is not
arming.
The current VTSS status armed or disarmed shall
be maintained in memory to prevent battery discon-
nects from disarming the system.
TRIGGERING THE VTSS
After the VTSS is armed, the following actions will
trigger the alarm:
²Opening any door (excluding liftgate).
²Opening the hood (RG - Export)
²Turning the ignition to the RUN position.
NOTE: When the VTSS is ARMED, the interior
power door lock switch ªUNLOCKº will be disabled
until the vehicle is disarmed.
CAUTION: The VTSS indicator LED will trigger and
engine will continue to run if the vehicle is
equipped with SKIS and the proper key is used to
start the vehicle. This condition will occur if the
VTSS has been triggered. If valid key is used, VTSS
will disarm
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The SKIS includes keys from the factory which are
pre-programmed. Each SKIM will recognize a maxi-
mum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer would
like to own additional keys other than those provided
with the vehicle, they can be purchased from any
authorized dealer. These keys must be programmed
to the SKIM on the vehicle in order for the system to
recognize them as valid keys. This can be done by
the dealer with a DRB IIItscan tool or by a cus-
tomer if this feature is available in their market and
they have two (2) valid keys already available to
them. Refer to the Service Procedures portion of this
system for additional details. The SKIS performs a
self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position and will store Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC's) if a system malfunction is detected.
The SKIS can be diagnosed and any stored DTC's
can be retrieved using a DRB IIItscan tool as
described in the appropriate Body Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SENTRY KEY
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS,
WARNINGS, BEFORE ATTEMPTING COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE
PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: The following tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System involves the use of
a DRB IIITscan tool. Refer to the proper Body Diag-
nostic Procedures Manual.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) and
the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
bus network should be diagnosed using a DRB IIIt
scan tool. The DRB IIItwill allow confirmation that
the PCI bus is functional, that the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer Module (SKIM) is placing the proper messages
on the PCI bus, and that the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) is receiving the PCI bus messages.
Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures man-
ual, and Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
descriptions and diagrams.
(1) Check the fuses in the Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component as required and replace
the faulty fuse.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
remote cable from the remote terminal. Unplug the
wire harness connector at the SKIM. Check for con-
tinuity between the ground circuit cavity of the
SKIM wire harness connector and a good ground.
There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, repair the open circuit to ground as required.
(3) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
SKIM wire harness connector. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open circuit to the fuse in the
IPM as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) circuit cavity of the SKIM wire
harness connector. If OK, use a DRB IIItscan tool
and the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures manual
to complete the diagnosis of the SKIS. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the fuse in the IPM as
required.

TRANSPONDER KEY
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses a
transponder chip that is integral to each ignition key
(Fig. 1) to communicate with the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer Module (SKIM). Ignition keys are supplied
with the vehicle when it is shipped from the factory.
The transponder chip is undermolded within the
head of the key. This undermold is hidden beneath
an overmolded rubber cap.
OPERATION
Each Sentry Key has a unique transponder identi-
fication code permanently programmed into it by the
manufacturer. Likewise, the SKIM has a unique
9Secret Key9code programmed into it by the manu-
facturer as well. When a Sentry Key is programmed
into the memory of the SKIM, the SKIM stores the
transponder identification code from the Sentry Key,
and the Sentry Key learns the9Secret Key9code from
the SKIM. Once the Sentry Key learns the9Secret
Key9code of the SKIM, it is also permanently pro-

grammed into the transponder's memory. Therefore,
blank keys for the SKIS must be programmed by the
SKIM in addition to being cut to match the mechan-
ical coding of the ignition lock cylinder. Refer to Elec-
trical, Vehicle Theft Security, Transponder Key,
Standard Procedure - Transponder Programming.
The Sentry Key's transponder is within the range
of the SKIM's transceiver antenna ring when it is
inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. When the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the
SKIM communicates with the Sentry Key via a radio
frequency (RF) signal. The SKIM determines if a
valid key is present based on the information it
receives from the Sentry Key. If a valid key is
detected, that fact is communicated to the PCM via
the PCI bus and the vehicle is allowed to continue
running. If an invalid key is received by the PCM or
no status at all is communicated, the vehicle will
stall after two (2) seconds of running. The indicator
light will be flashing at this point. The Sentry Key's
transponder can not be repaired. If it is faulty or
damaged, it must be replaced.
Common communication problems:
²Two transponder keys too close together.
²Speed Pass too close to transponder key.
Solid indicator that there is a system failure.
²Loss of PCM communication.
²Failed antenna circuit.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSPONDER
PROGRAMMING
USING A DRB IIITSCAN TOOL
All Sentry Keys included with the vehicle are pre-
programmed to work with the Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer System (SKIS) when it is shipped from the
factory. The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)
can be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight
Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key
transponder, the key must first be cut to match the
ignition lock cylinder of the vehicle for which it will
be used. The vehicle's four digit PIN code will be
required to complete this task since you will need it
to enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. The
following steps must be completed using a DRB IIIt
scan tool:
(1) Insert the blank key into the ignition and turn
it to the RUN position.
(2) Using a DRB IIItscan tool, select9Theft
Alarm,99SKIM,99Miscellaneous,9and then9Program
New Key.9
(3) Enter the four digit PIN code using the DRB
IIItscan tool. When programming is completed, the
SKIM will exit Secured Access Mode and the DRB
IIItscan tool will display the results of your attempt
to program the key. One of five distinct results may
be displayed. All five are listed below:
²(Programming Successful(is displayed if the
Sentry Key programming is successful.
²(Learned Key in Ignition(is displayed if the
key in the ignition has already been programmed
into that vehicle's SKIM.
²(Eight Keys Already Learned (At The Maxi-
mum) Programming Not Done(is displayed if
eight keys have already been programmed into the
SKIM. In this case, if a new key needs to be added
due to a lost or defective key, the9Erase All Keys9
command (which requires entering the Secured
Access Mode) has to be performed. Following the
9Erase All Keys9command, all keys that will be used
to operate the vehicleMUSTbe reprogrammed to
the SKIM.
²(Programming Not Attempted(is displayed
after an9Erase All Keys9function is executed.
²(Programming Key Failed(is displayed if fur-
ther diagnosis is required.
To learn additional keys, turn the ignition OFF,
remove the learned key, insert the next new blank
key, and repeat the steps from the beginning.
ªCUSTOMER LEARNº MODE
This feature is only available on domestic vehicles
or those which have a U.S. country code designator.
This procedure requires access to at least two valid
Sentry Keys. If two valid Sentry Keys are not avail-

able, Sentry Key programming will require the use of
a DRB IIItscan tool.
The steps required to program Sentry Keys with
two valid Sentry Keys follows:
(1) Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that need to be
programmed. Cut the keys to match the ignition lock
cylinder mechanical key codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the
ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the
ON position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the ON
position for longer than three seconds, but no more
than fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to
the OFF position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key
in the ignition lock cylinder with the second valid
Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to the
ON position. The second valid Sentry Key must be
inserted within 15 seconds of removing the first valid
Sentry key.
(4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
3, the indicator light will start to flash and a single
audible chime tone will sound to indicate that the
system has entered the9Customer Learn9program-
ming mode.
(5) Within sixty seconds of entering the9Customer
Learn9programming mode, turn the ignition switch
to the OFF position, replace the valid Sentry Key
with a blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the
ignition switch back to the ON position.
(6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the
indicator light will stop flashing and stay on solid for
three seconds and then turn off to indicate that the
blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed.
The SKIS will immediately exit the9Customer
Learn9programming mode and the vehicle may be
started using the newly programmed Sentry Key.
These steps must be completed in their entirety for
each additional Sentry Key to be programmed. If any
of the above steps are not completed in the given
sequence, or within the allotted time, the SKIS will
exit the9Customer Learn9programming mode and
the programming will be unsuccessful. The SKIS will
also automatically exit the9Customer Learn9pro-
gramming mode if:
²It sees a non-blank Sentry Key when it should
see a blank.
²If it has already programmed eight (8) valid
Sentry Keys.
²If the ignition switch is turned to the OFF posi-
tion for more than about fifty (50) seconds.
NOTE: If you attempt to start the vehicle while in
ªCustomer Learnº mode (LED flashing), the vehiclewill behave as though an invalid key is being used
(i.e. the engine will stall after two (2) seconds of
running). No faults will be logged.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to
a particular vehicle, it cannot be used on any other
vehicle.
VTSS/SKIS INDICATOR LAMP
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses
an indicator light to convey information on the status
of the system to the customer. This light is shared
with the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). The
light is located in the Mechanical Instrument Cluster
(MIC). The indicator light is controlled by the Body
Control Module (BCM), via Programmable Communi-
cation Interface (PCI) data bus communication with
the MIC, based upon messages it receives from the
Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) on the PCI
data bus.
OPERATION
The Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC) per-
forms a four second bulb check via PCI communica-
tion with the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM). After the bulb check, the lamp is controlled
according to SKIM messages. Then, the SKIM sends
messages to the BCM to operate the light based upon
the results of the SKIS self tests. The light may be
actuated in two possible ways, flashing or on solid. If
the light comes on and stays on solid after a pow-
er-up test, this indicates that the SKIM has detected
a system malfunction. If the SKIM detects an invalid
key when the ignition switch is moved to the ON
position, it sends a message on the PCI bus to the
BCM, to flash the light. The SKIM can also send a
message to flash the light and generate a single audi-
ble chime at the same time. These two events occur-
ring simultaneously indicate that the SKIS has been
placed into the9Customer Learn9mode. Refer to
Electrical, Vehicle Theft Security, Transponder Key,
Standard Procedure - Transponder Programming for
more information on the9Customer Learn9mode. If
the light comes on and stays on after the power-up
test, diagnosis of the SKIS should be performed
using a DRB IIItscan tool and the appropriate Body
Diagnostic Procedures manual. The light is not a ser-
viceable component.

DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are
designed to provide information regarding the vehi-
cles wiring content. In order to effectively use the
wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important
to understand all of their features and characteris-
tics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+)
side of the circuit is placed near the top of the page,
and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near
the bottom of the page (Fig. 1).
All switches, components, and modules are shown
in the at rest position with the doors closed and the
key removed from the ignition (Fig. 2).Components are shown two ways. A solid line
around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indi-
cates that the component is being shown is not com-
plete. Incomplete components have a reference
number to indicate the page where the component is
shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made
on the diagrams to represent components and wiring
as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short
piece of wire is treated the same as a long one. In
addition, switches and other components are shown
as simply as possible, with regard to function only.
SYMBOLS
International symbols are used throughout the wir-
ing diagrams. These symbols are consistent with
those being used around the world (Fig. 3).
